Study Notes
Factors for Selecting a Suitable Airport Site
- Regional plans should integrate the airport into the national network.
- Airport use must align with either civilian or military operations.
- A considerable distance from existing airports is necessary to prevent conflicts during landing and takeoff.
- Ground accessibility is crucial for user convenience; shorter travel times enhance efficiency.
- Proximity to obstructions can affect flight safety; long clearance areas are essential for safe altitude changes.
- Poor visibility conditions such as fog and smoke reduce air traffic capacity; sites should be chosen for optimal visibility.
- Noise nuisance is influenced by aircraft type, engine propulsion, and volume of air traffic; avoid residential areas for flight paths.
Aeronautical Information Services
- The Aeronautical Information Service (AIS) collects, edits, and publishes critical aeronautical data.
- Aeronautical information packages include publications like Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP), which contain lasting navigation information.
Aeronautical Data and Information Elements
- AIP amendments convey permanent changes to aeronautical information.
- AIP supplements provide temporary updates through special notifications.
- NOTAMs inform about significant changes to aeronautical facilities or procedures essential for flight operations.
Aerodrome Specifications
- Comprehensive aerodrome information includes name, geographic data (latitude, longitude), and elevation.
- Lighting systems for runways must be detailed, including approach lighting and visual aids.
- Ground services information includes contacts for fuel suppliers and available services for pilots.
Special Aerodrome Procedures
- Special procedures unique to the aerodrome should be documented to inform pilots about specific requirements.
- Key takeoff and landing distances must be determined for runway safety and efficiency, including TORA, TODA, ASDA, and LDA.
Pavement Strength and Runway Requirements
- Pavement strength must be assessed to avoid conflict between aircraft weight and the runway’s bearing capacity.
- The ACN/PCN method developed by ICAO is the standard for comparing aircraft weight with runway capacity.
Lighting and Visual Aids
- Various types of runway lights exist, including LIRL, MIRL, and HIRL, with different intensity levels for better visibility.
- Visual aids for navigation include approach lights, runway centerline lights, and threshold identification lights to guide landing and taxiing.
Navigation Aids
- Specific coordinates and frequencies for navigation aids must be provided to ensure accurate flight operations.
- The location of aids should be referenced to the World Geodetic System – 1984 for global consistency.
